Interns must be quite busy at the Library of Congress these days! The LOC has their own Flickr page, and they are posting copyright-free photos online! Check them out right here. Some are amazing. It's incredible to look back and see how things used to be.

Here's the New York Public Library in Manhattan, on opening day. Everything is so neat and tidy!


Coney Island beach on a hot day. Notice that everyone is still fully dressed.


A very interesting photo of street activity in Manhattan. Look at all that street space! Today, the lanes are so cluttered with cars that you can barely squeeze past.


There are thousands of pictures, and the collection is still growing.
